Kenya's Faith Kipyegon attempted to become the first woman to run a sub-four-minute mile in a Nike-sponsored exhibition in Paris. Despite a strong effort aided by 13 pacers and specialized equipment, she finished in 4:06.91, a personal best but short of the record. Though not officially record-eligible, Kipyegon believes a sub-four-minute mile for women is achievable in the future.
